  • Curly Kids: Curly Hair Care for Easy Mornings

  • Wednesday, August 17th, 2011 | by

  • Prepare curls at night to avoid a hassle-filled morning.

  • Show your child how much product they need in their hair, and let them either help or finish with the rest of their hair. You may want to give him or her an object to help visualize the comparison of the amount of the product they need to use. For example, if they use a leave-in, use the bottom of a little paper cup or a plastic medallion to measure the amount. Visual prompts and comparisons are great for kids.
  • Almost bedtime! If your child doesn’t like to go to bed with a wet head, use a hair diffuser to gently dry her curls. A satin pillowcase will also help protect your child’s hair and make it easier to style in the morning.

    • When the alarm is off and little feet hit the ground, it’s time to perk your child’s curls with a few spritzes of water. Mixing water with lavender oil will give their curls a great light smell, and hydrate them for the day ahead. You may also want to play up your little girls’ curls with a few cute clips or a sparkly headband. Once all the conditioning and hydrating is complete, their morning curls will be perfect. You can use the rest of your morning to have a healthy, family breakfast or get backpacks ready to go.

    Teach Love by Example

    Teaching your kids to love their curls from an early age can help in avoiding straightening desires and future damage down the road. Hear how other moms tackled the task!

    Final thoughts

    Make the most of your morning hours and enjoy the new school year with a simple, evening, curly hair care routine that will help teach your little curlies how to love and appreciate their hair for the rest of their lives.

    What nighttime routines to do you have with your little one?
